Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus and method for an improved actuator arm assembly in a disc drive. This invention results from the realization that structurally inferior actuator assemblies create low frequency, high amplitude resonances. This invention reduces resonances through the utilization of a voice coil motor overmolding technique that additionally incorporates a stiffening member to increase the rigidity of the actuator assembly.
